About The Book : This is a book for anybody to read. It is travel and adventure; who will not rise to that? And it is travel and adventure in the hardest of all lands left to explore.. It is simply the diary of a plucky and resourceful woman who pushed her way, practically alone, through the heart of Tibet, and put down all that happened to her as she went along. The feat was remarkable and astonishing. With- out a companion and without equipment this unsophisticated pilgrim crept into the secret places of the Great Closed Land. Her audacity makes one hold one’s breath: what chance has a mouse in a cageful of cats? Others had been before her, but not women. Women have been since, but not alone. There is nothing to equal it in the whole fascinating story of Tibetan travel. Yet how quaintly pathetic in its simplicity and how richly amusing in its unpreparedness !. Starting from the north of China, near the Great Wall, Miss Taylor entered Tibet, penetrated almost to Lhasa, and returned by another route. She was seven months and ten days in the forbidden land. Her only arms were a pistol, and her only instruments a telescope and a watch. It was probably intended as a spy-glass for robbers; but those gentry swarmed about her so close and so often that looking for them at long range would have been a mere ridiculous superfluity.
